whadduuuuuuuuuup.

glad to see you made it to 2010 [throws confetti at you].

oh, btw, before i start, how did i miss this video for Sharam + Kid Cudi - She Came Along? apparently, it was out a while ago and my head was just too far in the sand/homework that i wasn't paying attention. i HAVE been kinda out of the loop, i should rectify that. i wish i had seen it when it was first posted on October 16th, it would've been a baller-ass birthday present. anyway, here's the vid if you're late like me or if you just wanna see it again.





finally made my way to NYCERS last week. got... not exactly lost, more like turned around in Brooklyn. here's the thing -- i will argue to the end that you have to REALLY REALLY TRY to get lost in NYC (which invariably gets the argument "but you're from there!"), but Brooklyn is a whole 'nother story. i WILL admit that in NYC, especially uptown, you need to know the order of the avenues so that you don't get lost going crosstown, but if it comes to going uptown/downtown? you really have to NOT PAY ATTENTION to get lost. if you're on 145th and you're going to 127th and you walk in one direction and see 146th... then, CLEARLY, you go in the other direction. see? simple. but Brooklyn, for some strange and mysterious reason, is made up of NOTHING BUT NAMES, so unless you know it all by heart you're screwed. i couldn't feel my legs by the time i got to the building, but i found my way back to the train station pretty well, so it was all good. now they just have to send me my paperwork. so i can send it back to THEM so it can get processed. it'll probably take a few months, but it'll be just in time for spring/pre-summer and that'll be good for to reasons -- one, i won't be broke (which would've been a serious issue since i'm not supposed to be working due to MMUF, despite the summer stipend) and two, it'll mean that i can overhaul my wardrobe.

ah, yes, shopping season. trust, i'm already on the lookout for whatever i want to get, but it also gives me some time to be able to shed a few of these extra pounds that stress and just laziness put on me over the last few months. for once, my renovation project is going well, i'm proud. i even added a few sites to my Google Reader to keep me updated on partied and such around town, so big ups to everyoneisfamous.com for starting me off on that... i don't live in Chicago, but he linked a few for the NYC area.

food time, then i'll be waiting for UPS to deliver my new laptop, YEEEEEE!


peace.
